People stand up and protest against police brutality and the rise of a police state in our allegedly democratic society. Pay attention to these words from the reporter: “One woman TRIED TO DEFEND the violence” – HUH? yes, the violence against the poor police. additional articles: www.sfgate.com www.bloomberg.com
Finally some national MSM attn with the truth!
Oscar Grant, Oakland Ca – killed on New Years Day after being shot in the back while pinned down (and possibly handcuffed) by another cop. Grant was unarmed.
Adolf Grimes, New Orleans La – killed on New Years eve after being shot 12 times in the back (14 total). Grimes was armed with a legal, registered gun.
Robbie Tolan, Dallas Tx – shot 3 times on New Years Eve after cops wrongfully accused him of stealing his own vehicle in front of his parents home on Dec 31. Tolan was unarmed.
The main stream media will only show the nasty so called “riots”. That’s after being fired upon with Tear Gas during a Peaceful Demonstration. Count how many Lies the News tells in first 30 seconds! comment back!
the media is now about making money and not telling the news. when there is no news. they make it. i do believe it was an accident though. why would he want to kill that dude. NO WAY. he should be in jail for 20 years. doubtfully he would survive it.
Why do the police need to defend themselves? It was one cops mistake, this was a bad cop and he’s done and he might be in jail. What more can be done?
Why haven’t they tried the son-of-bitch, that’s what needs to be done. If I was to shoot a fucking cop in the face on video I would be already on the death row. NO JUSTICE NO PEACE!!!!!
He isn’t in jail, that’s what wrong. He hasn’t even been officially charged he only resigned on his own. If he resigned then he knows he’s gulity and if he is guilty then why hasn’t he even been charged.
I hear people say that it was an accident and that he just wanted to get his taser gun. If that is the case, how does he have a RIGHT to taser a guy who is face down on the ground and handcuffed. He was no harm to them.
cops can get away with murder and thats the scary thing about it. it makes me mad that the whole system is wrong and they stick up for each other. just goes to show you you cant trust anybody. its not safe at all. we cant tell the good cops from the bad cops anymore. this kind of stuff happens all the time. me myself im afraid of cops all of them.
Just because he is handcuff does not mean he cant resist the officer. Look up the facts
If he is handcuffed and laying on his front side with officers on him, there is no way he can resist those guys. You look up the facts and stop trying to justify their actions. If this young man was your son you would not be siding with them. You would feel the same way the family feels. So, until you’ve been through it, you don’t know how it feels. Police Brutality happens alot where i am from. So i can see for my people.
Ok, even if the cop was trying to pull out a tazer. Which I doubt. For what? The guy was already on the ground and subdued as it was. There is no excuse whatsoever for this. Then the news focuses more on “The senseless riots” or what they called senseless riots, against the police. I would be pissed at the police , too. They should be focusing more on this cop that killed an unarmed civilian.
How could you not feel that it’s a gun in your hand and not a tazer!? Sounds like BS to me.
This is one of the most fucked up things I’ve ever seen.
No more violence.
This was a Bart Police, not an Oakland Police Officer.
“We live a life of fear” so it’s okay to behave like animals?
@MissLovlie
When you’re in fear for your life it’s easy to make a mistake that would seem impossible normally. The cop probably panicked.
All of the people carrying on, screaming at the cops and acting like animals are partly to blame. They were trying to make an arrest, and instead of being able to concentrate on the job they had to watch their backs for attacks from the crowd,
If you want cops to treat you with respect, start by treating them with respect.
Fact is, he was a piece of shit. Conversely, the police are also pieces of shit. Being white and working in the ghetto, I am constantly watching my back for gay ghetto rapists/ robbers/ murderers. The violence in the poor communities in the country are the root of most of the evil. People in those communities who aren’t criminals live in fear because of the hood rats.
@PitbullD The lie keeps getting spread that Grant was handcuffed. He absolutely was not. Had he allowed himself to be handcuffed, he would have made it home. This was not murder, this was an accident. It was proven 100% that Mehserle intended to tase Grant, not shoot him. YOU look up the facts, and stop lying to further inflame racial hatred and detract from the actual police murders that happen.
@cjyount Grant wasn’t handcuffed, by the way.
he was not assassinated cuz he wasn’t a public figure. another lie in the media.
he resisted arrest too.
if you rob a liquor store, don’t cry if you get shot yourself.
